Why does everybody focus on "how will this replace humans?" It's just a really good text-to-speech.

Why does everybody focus on "how will this replace humans?" It's just a really good text-to-speech.
- ImHereToVote 3y agoPersonally I can't wait for all the streets to be lined with the homeless like in SF. So good.
- akaij 3y agoIt's kinda sad to see you believe that this is the inevitable outcome.
- pjmlp 3y agoWell, if we imagine that the only thing that will be left are physical jobs that can't be done by computers. At least until they get clever enough to start a transformers line factory.
- Legend2440 3y agoThis is the lump of labor fallacy. It's not about "what jobs will be left", it's about the new jobs we'll invent with all the time we'll have on our hands. There was never a fixed number of jobs, there's a fixed number of workers.
- pjmlp 3y agoWell, we can also return to feudalism.
- ImHereToVote 3y agoI didn't think you understand. We aren't about to automate all things humans can "currently" do. We are about to automate everything that separates us from a brick. What can possibly be left, and why would an unemployed person pay for whatever what is left?
- slaterbug 3y ago> There was never a fixed number of jobs, there's a fixed number of workers. Isn’t this the ‘problem’ that AI is trying to solve?
- bigfudge 3y agoThe nature of the jobs change too though. Do you believe jobs will become more or less skilled/autonomous and connect people more or less with their fellow man? Some of us are pessimistic about those questions.
- PhasmaFelis 3y agoBecause it will replace humans, and that's worth thinking about?
- pjmlp 3y agoMaybe because I no longer hear friendly human voices on train stations, rather computer generated train announcements? While those people are now looking for jobs elsewhere.
- Legend2440 3y agoFantastic! That's a massive efficency gain. We will not run out of productive things to do with our time. Labor force participation has stayed in 60-70% despite centuries of automation.
- pjmlp 3y agoLovely capitalism.
- relativ575 3y agoAnnouncements often get played repeatedly -- "Train 101 to Lisbon is now on track 5". Why do you want to torture station's workers with that? Instead, make an effort to start a conversation with your fellow travelers, or graciously respond to such effort from them. Apologize if you already do.
- pjmlp 3y agoBetter a tortured job that puts food on the table than none at all.
- cpill 3y agotell that to the kids in Nike sweat shops
- pjmlp 3y agoTheir family appreciate. As do everyone that buys Nike.
